anxiety medication comparison

Oh no no no! You don't want to play doctor with this for a bunch of reasons. For one, you're talking about two totally different meds. Paxil is an antidepressant, and Xanax is a benzodiazepine. They cannot "replace" one another, they do totally different things. Do you not have a refill of the Paxil? If not, you need to contact your doc ASAP and obtain at least enough of the Paxil to get to into see your doc for a refill. Stopping Paxil abruptly can be a nightmare.

Since the change I feel very tingly all over,arms and feet are cold,Penis when erect fills very different and have erections for prolonged period,dizziness, muscle aching, Insomnia and when I go to sleep my head will jerk 2 or 3 times. I have high Anxiety that is the reason for the medication as mentioned. NO Panic Attacks! In your opinion which drug or drugs is causing the side effects?

My therapist recently suggested the idea of going on some medication for my anxiety. Thats something I have thought of for a while but am nervous to go forward with. I am nervous about the side effects that come along with the medications. I am looking to hear some other people's experiences with medication and what the pros and cons are.

t all about medication and will give alternative to medication such as supplements which i like. If my bloods are checked will that make sure the side effects will be picked up earlier and so wont get so bad?

it is probably more than a coincidence. The medication you are taking for asthma is a very active medication and can have a very stimulating effect which can show itself in many different ways in many different ways.

Hi anyone taking anxiety medication & trying to conceive? I am trying to conceive & am dealing with my anxiety issue at the same time. I am thinking if I should see a psychiatrist for help. I will appreciate it if you could share with me if you are suffering from any side effect from anxiety medication or not. Thanks.

Right now I feel I can manage my anxiety without taking anything extra. When my anxiety becomes bothersome I drink Kava tea and take a hot bath. When I was suffering from debilitating panic disorder years ago, I took the lorezapam once or twice a day until the Paxil kicked in. My panic attacks this time around were benign compared to those of years ago. The 12.5mg of PaxilCR has done wonders for me.

Im on this anxiety medication im wondering if it will make me better orbis just like for symptoms for the day ir somthin

So before I was pregnant I had extreme anxiety, and was on and off medication. Didnt really like the effects - I was either a mindless zombie, or super nice and happy. And for the first 2 trimesters my anxiety had been pretty low. But, now I'm 35 weeks and the anxiety is so bad. I get it for big things, small things, or i'll even just be sitting watching tv and get hit with a huge wave of anxiety for no reason. I've started scratching my self..

Also my psychiatrist told me alot of people who suffer from anxiety/depression will think the medication is making them worse because the are already struggling with anxiety/depression. However, some medications just don't work for people, or cause side effects such as fatigue. I was on lexapro 10mg for a year, then stopped, and started to take it again for a little over a month and it no longer worked for my anxiety. So I slowly weaned off the lexapro and switched to cymbalta.

Im afraid of becoming addicted to them, and from what I hear most anxiety medication is highly addictive so I have put off any sort of treatment for my anxiety.

is it possible that anxiety doest come back after taking medication for it or is it a guaranteed to hit you again after stopping?

I have been prescribed 0.5 mg of Klonopin, to be taken twice a day if needed for anxiety/phobias. I've only taken it maybe 10 times spread out throughout maybe a 3 week period. The first 30-60 minutes feels really weird after I have taken 0.5mg--kinda dizzy and "off." Not really a good or fun buzz like how I feel when I drink liquor. However after 1 hour I feel great! Relaxed, but pretty much normal...not like drunk or totally out of it. Just mellow and chill.

I'm sorry you're going through this. Health anxiety is not that uncommon. Do you have a reason for your fears, did someone in your family have cancer? Getting in to therapy might be a great idea to help with your anxiety.

I've never wanted medication for my anxiety. My doctor insisted, so I tried it. I started with 10mg of lexapro and I started feeling better some days. I stopped taking it during vacation (because my work apparently triggers my anxiety) and I felt pretty good. When I got back to work I started on lexapro again but this this time I had all sort of side effects possible. My dr.

Im on medication for depression and anxiety. Also occasionally I have a sedative in case I go bizzercerz. Would that hurt my child more than stress would?

Hello, can you please tell me if it is Ok to use Zyprexa for anxiety as it has been prescribed. Is it true, it can cause diabetes and if so after how long ?

Are there ANY anxiety/depression meds that are allowed to take during pregnancy?

First of I just want to say thank you to any one in advance who may leave a response to this post. I've been struggling with bad depression and I keep cycling fro one medication to another, not because the aren't working but, because I seem to really struggle with the physical side effects, The main problems are of course drowsiness, sexual dis-function, and constipation.

We use hydroxyzine at the hospital more frequently for preoperative sedation and postoperative nausea than as an antianxiety med. It IS classified as an antianxiety medication, more commonly known as Atarax, but it's just not a usual "first-line" choice for most doctors. Nothing wrong with it........if it's helping. If it's not, don't hesitate to ask your doctor for something else.

Im wondering why my medication that im on is not helping my anxiety at all...i am tapering off it but im still on it so why dont it help my anxiety....
